Earliest Pre-39 ?
We know of certain gift pre-39s with low serial numbers but what is the lowest serial number pre-39 that has actually surfaced ?
My lowest is 1021 (with the experimental extractor) shipped to S&W distributor Jesse Harpe in Tampa, FL, and one or two more in the 109x and 11xx serial numbers that have the standard production, long bar extractor.
Awhile back another member had 105x with a standard production extractor.
So somewhere between 1021 and the mid 105x they switched to the standard production extractor. Just cannot nail down a more precise serial number when the change was made.
